If anything, we can conclude he will be severely worse given less minutes. What player in the history of hockey made improvements when demoted?

Sigh - again with the narrative. He was taken right off the PP in November, given a couple games in December and then taken right off again. He never got back on on any regular basis until late March, when everything was fal;ling apart anyway.
His TOI was 13:56. That would be below Bennett, and just slightly more than Jankowski, Versteeg and Jagr. Not
significantly more than those bottom six guys. I'm not sure who you think should have gotten more - Lazar? Stajan? Hathaway? He was below Foo and Shore as well FWIW.
